Healing Doctor

Chapter 378: Is "The Lancet" owned by his family?

It seems that this provincial science subject is really important to Ji Xiang, so much so that he made up some random things in an attempt to get away with it.

But he didn't realize that it's not that easy to get away with something. Did he really think the judges were made of clay?

Ling Tian's smile turned cold, a mixture of pleasure and smugness.

It seemed that his tacit understanding and hard work with his boss had achieved perfect results. A sharp punch struck Ji Xiang's vital spot, throwing him into disarray, which was exactly what Ling Tian wanted to see.

At this moment, he hoped that Director Liu would insist on letting Ji Xiang's manuscript pass the review, and that no one would bother to check whether the so-called supplement was real or fake.

If the people at the Second Affiliated Hospital do this, I will definitely expose academic fraud.

Not only should we teach Ji Xiang how to be a good person, but we should also teach those people at the Second Affiliated Hospital who wanted to help Ji Xiang how to conduct themselves.

When Ji Xiang becomes a drowning dog, I won't hesitate to kick him while he's down, ensuring he never gets a chance to be reborn.

……

"Director, please take a look. It's real," Ji Xiang said calmly.

Director Liu stared at Ji Xiang and saw that he did not show any excitement, anger, or extreme disappointment. Just like before, Ji Xiang was indifferent to everything.

After taking off his glasses, Director Liu took Ji Xiang's notebook.

Is it possible that our insistence on this child's persistence has ultimately harmed him?

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It's no wonder that a young man like Ji Xiang couldn't bear it.

Director Liu looked at the contents of the notebook, rows and rows of English, which he couldn't understand at all.

"This is..." Director Liu paused for a moment, scratching his head.

If it's a Chinese journal, I can tell the difference between real and fake at a glance.

However, the format of the English journal, especially the supplement, was completely wrong, and there was no way to find translation software on Ji Xiang's computer, which was quite awkward.

"Let me see," another review expert next to Director Liu said, leaning over.

He was also taken aback by the English, but this person's English level was clearly higher than Director Liu's, and he read it word by word.

"It seems to be true..." he said doubtfully after a few seconds.

He could read the contents in bits and pieces, but he never imagined he would see such fresh and exciting articles at a meeting reviewing provincial science and technology.

Based on the time, we can conclude that this article was uploaded just ten minutes ago.

What a coincidence!

The provincial science and technology review was full of surprises. First, the review rules were suddenly notified to become stricter, and the best proposal was lost.

Just when everyone thought things had come to this, they pulled out a supplement to The Lancet.

The Lancet is the pinnacle of medical journals.

Even this expert reviewer hesitated to draw a conclusion, and handed his notebook to another person next to him.

"What's going on? What are the judges looking at?"

"That guy named Ji Xiang just said that his article was published in a supplement to The Lancet."

"Don't talk nonsense. The Lancet is owned by them; they can publish a supplement anytime, anywhere. Even the regular issue is hard to come by, let alone a supplement. Do you even know what the last supplement of The Lancet was about?"

The other doctors who were also nominated whispered among themselves.

Someone took out their phone and started searching.

"I never dreamed I could publish an article in The Lancet, but a paper agency contacted me saying it would cost 20 yuan per article, and I would be the second author."

"I received it too, and I can hardly believe it. 20? That's way too expensive."

"The key issue is that they said it would take 3-6 months to publish, which is a bit long. I'm worried about being scammed. Think about it, normally it takes about half a year for an article to be published, so this guy..."

The doctor who spoke gestured with his lip, "They say they have a supplement, so they just release one. Do they think The Lancet is their private property?"

"Feed".

The person next to him nudged him with their arm.

"What's wrong?"

"I found it on the website; it was a supplement published 13 minutes ago."

"No way, it's the middle of the night over there, are they working 996 or 007 too?"

Despite saying that, he still took the phone.

The young doctor's English level surpassed that of the senior department heads and experts. After glancing at it, the doctor was immediately dumbfounded.

He still didn't believe it, so he glanced at the website again and took out his phone to search for it again.

Sure enough, 13 minutes earlier, The Lancet published a supplement on the topic of partial resection of kidney cancer with interventional therapy.

There are a total of 12 articles from different countries and regions. The overall collection is rather thin, yet it doesn't really say anything meaningful.

The second article's author names are in pinyin, making it immediately clear that they are Zhao Zhe and Ji Xiang.

It turned out to be true!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

While the doctors below were still in shock, one of the experts on stage, without even glancing at his computer, waved his hand and said confidently, "A resident physician thinks he can publish in The Lancet? He's delusional. A supplement, indeed! Do you even know what a supplement is?"

"Teacher, you can check the official website of The Lancet yourself," Ji Xiang said calmly.

"Tch." The man curled his lip.

Out of respect for Director Liu of the Second Affiliated Hospital, he didn't say anything excessive, but his attitude was implied.

But then a middle-aged doctor in his thirties walked onto the stage with a stoop, and the two whispered a few words to each other.

The reviewer's expression shifted from disdain to bewilderment, and finally, with a look of utter suspicion, he took the phone.

The middle-aged doctor pointed to the literature on his phone and spoke to him in a low voice.

"real?"

"Boss, it's true. It was published a dozen minutes ago, there's no mistake, I've checked it repeatedly."

The review panel returned the phone to the middle-aged doctor and waved him off.

He didn't speak; the doubts from before seemed to still linger in the air. He looked at Ji Xiang with a face full of confusion.

"Holy crap! It's actually true!!"

The review expert that Ling Tian contacted took out his phone early in the morning to search and was surprised to find that article.

The Lancet, a supplement, fell from the sky; he hadn't anticipated this story.

Originally, it was thought that Ling Tian had used a great deal of resources, even adjusting the eligibility criteria for provincial natural sciences, and that victory was already assured.

But the other party had extraordinary connections... or perhaps extraordinary luck. During the review process, The Lancet, a rare publication, released a supplement containing their articles!

Suddenly, the requirement for national-level papers became completely irrelevant.

The Lancet's impact factor surpasses that of all national journals; a single article from it can change the course of events.

"Is he just too lucky?" This expert judge was extremely envious of Ji Xiang's good fortune.

But he still remembered Ling Tian's existence, so he raised his voice a little, not out of surprise, but to inform Ling Tian that things had changed.

"A Lancet supplement? Impossible!"

His phone suddenly made a sound, and the judge immediately hung up.

He covered his phone with his hand and gave an embarrassed smile.
